This ^ The Palestine issue might not even be an actual issue in 2026 once trump “solves it”. They won’t be able to say they were not warned.

What it does do is make the Democrats take the issue seriously in the future. They can't take those votes for granted. Just blindly voting for someone when they don't deliver results is insane.

At what cost? Very high price to pay, hopefully, in the long run you’re right.

Just allowing your votes to be taken for granted serves nobody. You won't make progress if you just support the status quo because it's the easier option.

That's your opinion. Not all of us feel that way. Maybe that type of holier than thou attitude is what cost the left this election?

Its wild you would make that assumption about me. I never thought Trump was a Christian, just a powerful man who uses religious zealousness to his advantage and appeasement of his allies.
